Why Hire Our Workers' Compensation Law Firm?
Many of our clients have never dealt with an attorney before. We understand that selecting a law firm can be complicated and confusing. But we also know it may be the most important decision you make.
There is no shortage of lawyers who will tell you they are the ones to hire. So how do you make a wise decision? What should you look for in a workers' compensation attorney?
Whether or not you select our law firm, we encourage you to consider the following:
1. Find an attorney who focuses exclusively on helping injured people. You wouldn't ask your family doctor to perform brain surgery. Think carefully before you hire a lawyer who does everything from wills and trusts to DUI defense to handle your workers' compensation claim. At the Law Offices of Gary Martin Hays & Associates, P.C., we dedicate our practice solely to representing personal injury and workers' compensation clients. Our workers' comp attorneys devote their entire practice to helping people who have been injured on the job. Our depth of knowledge, skill and experience benefit our clients.
2. What's the firm's reputation? We are proud to be respected by our peers in the legal profession. Gary Martin Hays has lectured on numerous occasions to Georgia attorneys on issues related to workers' compensation and personal injury.
3. What's the firm's record of success? We have been collecting benefits and money for injured clients for a very long time. Three of our attorneys are members of the prestigious Million-Dollar Advocates Forum, a group of lawyers who have all won verdicts or settlements in excess of $1 million.
4. Do they understand insurance companies? Insurance companies have seemingly limitless resources and a large stable of lawyers whose goal is denying the payment of any claim — even valid ones. Several of our attorneys once worked in insurance defense. We know their strategies and tactics and we put that experience to work for our clients.
5. Do they represent insurance companies? Some attorneys try to have it both ways. They'll represent injured workers on one case and defend the insurance company on another. We only represent injured people. Period.
6. Are they involved in the community? Some law firms advertise in Georgia but are located out of state. We are Georgia lawyers who understand the laws of the state and the concerns of the people who live here. And we give back to our community to help make Georgia a better place for all of us.
7. Can they handle themselves in court? We always try to resolve personal injury and workers' compensation claims outside of the courtroom. But when necessary, we will take the case in front of a judge and jury. We even have a mock courtroom in our office so that when we do have to try a case we will be prepared.
8. Do they care about you and your problem? Every member of our legal team is a compassionate and caring person. You will never be just another case file at our law firm. We get to know you personally and we treat you with respect.
We offer a free consultation that is free of risk and obligation. Why not contact us today to learn how we can help.
